Porcelain veneers are routinely
used to cover teeth which are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned.
Porcelain veneers, often alternatively termed dental veneers or dental
porcelain laminates, are wafer-thin shells of porcelain which are
bonded onto the front side of teeth in order to cosmetically improve
their appearance. Typically veneers are difficult to stain, making
veneers a very popular solution for many people seeking that perfect
smile. Strong and very durable, veneers last from ten to fifteen
years, and come in colors that will brighten dark teeth without the
worry of them changing color. |

Bonding
Composite bonding can work wonders for your
smile. Using materials that match the shade, translucency and the
texture of your teeth, gaps between teeth can be closed, spots and
discolorations can be eliminated, and your self-confidence can be
enhanced through the improved appearance of your smile. Composite
bonding is excellent for small defects in the teeth -- spots, chips,
or gaps between teeth. For smile alterations involving an entire
tooth or multiple teeth, porcelain is the material of choice. Bonding
for teeth involves the use of composite resin tooth-colored filling
material. This material can be used on the anterior (front) teeth
or posterior (back) teeth. The procedure is sometimes referred to
as bonding is because an adhesive agent is used to actually bond
the resin to the tooth structure. |

| Tooth-colored fillings and inlays
|
|
Tooth-colored
fillings and inlays replace the gold and
silver of the past with natural looking
materials.
In the 1970's, "white fillings" came
into common use. These "tooth-colored
fillings" were made of a plastic dental
resin filled with microscopic filler particles
and were called composites. When dental
composites were first introduced, they
could only be used in the front teeth,
because they weren't strong enough to withstand
the chewing pressure of the back teeth
(in excess of 40,000 pounds per square
inch).
The composites of today have been
vastly improved over the ones developed
nearly
forty years ago. They are strong, durable,
and attractive. In 1999, the American Dental
Association gave white fillings its seal
of approval and now many insurance plans
cover their use. |

| All Ceramic Crowns |
|
It might come as a surprise,
but “all-ceramic” crowns
or “caps”, have been around for most of the past century.
These restorations have no metal and are
totally made of ceramic glass sometimes strengthened
with a translucent material such as
zirconium. They have always been a highly
desirable cosmetic solution for front teeth
even without the availability of modern bonding.
Incorporating bonding with all-ceramic crowns
can have the strength and beauty
of unblemished natural teeth. Today teeth
that have too much damage to be corrected
with fillings or veneers can still be made
white and natural with all ceramic crowns.

teeth, heavily worn teeth and for replacing old crowns
